Impressed by our running a blog buddy GP Cox, who dedicates his weblog to honour those that fought within the Pacific throughout WWII, my husband Henry and I took a spherical journey to 4 church buildings to seek out the graves of a number of the individuals talked about on the memorial statue in Herning. No one appears to know something about them although they’ve fallen due to WWII. Henry has promised to completely analysis every of them and create a weblog put up.
A memorial park in Herning, our city, is devoted to our fallen freedom fighters.
Hoping to seek out the graves, we took some flowers from our backyard to place at every grave. This primary one in Assing was not so arduous to seek out. He has a international identify, and as he’s a so-called Brigade Soldier, he will need to have escaped to Sweden, the place our Danish Brigade was shaped and educated to be prepared to assist get the German occupiers in another country.
The spherical image in copper is an indication that this grave is protected. Sadly, there was a grave in Herning for a Danish soldier in an Allied mission who misplaced his life on D-Day in Normandy whose headstone acquired demolished earlier than the rule of safety the WWII graves got here alongside. The People even introduced his physique as much as his dad and mom in Herning. Disgrace on the ignorant individuals who demolished his headstone.
